Liu Yang was beginning to get up, when suddenly he noticed a strange light coming from the center of the formation, Liu Yang could only perceive such a thing with the Phantom Vision. Walking carefully to the middle group, Liu Yang stopped as he was about fifteen meters from the group. Staring at the light, Liu Yang sees the following words."Output Mechanism"
(Output Mechanism ?! I get it ...). Liu Yang was surprised at first, but soon he was calm, as if some things were gathering in his mind.
Liu Yang charged toward the group that was in the center with the sword in hand, making the same movements as before. Liu Yang quickly defeats the group. Liu Yang came in front of the light, reaching out to touch the light, a screen appeared to Liu Yang.
(It"s a Sudoku !!). Liu Yang exclaimed internally.
Liu Yang began to suspect a few things by looking at these things that Zac left behind, but lacking in evidence, he could not be sure. This Sudoku was not difficult, Liu Yang took half an hour to complete it. When the last number was placed, a bright light appears, Liu Yang is forced to close his eyes. When Liu Yang opened his eyes, he saw that he was back at the test site.
(Find the exit path with your own hands, this phrase contained a clue that helped pa.s.s the test in an easier, interesting way.) That was the thought that Liu Yang had in thinking about the phrase that appeared before the first wave of zombies.
At that moment a message appeared in front of Liu Yang.
"Congratulations on pa.s.sing the platform 9 challenge, advance ten platforms"
Liu Yang was transported to platform 19. Liu Yang used the Phantom Vision to look at some platforms forward before throwing the dice again.
24
Liu Yang walked slowly toward the next platform.
...
Meanwhile on the outside, the crowd watched Liu Yang facing the challenge of the zombies, fights were irrelevant to them, the crowd thought that Liu Yang was someone who was in a level close to 100, because of that fact, a fight between someone of level 100 against someone of level 20 would be a unilateral ma.s.sacre. But when they saw that Liu Yang found something hidden in the middle of the formation and managed to complete that Sudoku challenge, that surprised everyone. For that kind of challenge, 99% of the locals had never seen it before, only 1% had a vague notion of what Sudoku was.
(This person is a true expert trained to explore secret realms). That was everyone"s thinking on the spot, some had strange faces as they stared at this scene, but it was soon hidden, before they took out an item and started to speak in a low voice.
...
Currently, Liu Yang was in last place on platform 43, while the first ones were nearing 300, but he did not care about it, because Liu Yang knew that going faster would not be of any help, but it would hurt, because there would be many partic.i.p.ants together, the moment two or more partic.i.p.ants are together, there will be a b.l.o.o.d.y battle. Because of this fact, Liu Yang did not mind going slower than the others.
Liu Yang fell some times on empty platforms, platforms of challenges of fighting monsters, on another platform he got a card of skill. When the other challengers were reaching the 400 number platform. Liu Yang started using the six dice. Arriving at platform number 279, Liu Yang encounters another challenge, this time it was a puzzle.
"Complete the following sentence: In nature nothing is created, nothing is lost, ________________"
"That is…"
Liu Yang was shocked reading this sentence, he would never have imagined finding such a thing in this world. For in this world of magic, something like science should not exist, but for words like this to arise, it could only mean one thing. Liu Yang was increasingly confident of his theory.
"In nature nothing is created, nothing is lost, everything is transformed"
Completing the sentence, the screen disappears and a message appears.
"Complete task, advance one hundred and fifty platforms"
Liu Yang did not want to follow the leaders, but he is being forced. He began to think that there should be a certain limit between the leaders" platforms and the last ones.
As Liu Yang walked toward platform 429, he pa.s.sed several other challengers, each one of them looked at Liu Yang with an incredulous face, no one imagined that this arrogant and unknown person could pa.s.s through them all.
Arriving on platform 429, Liu Yang realized he was the first. Some of the challengers who survived so far, had some influential background behind them, by the time they saw Liu Yang overtake them, they were not believing theirs in what they were seeing.
(It"s not possible, how did that person get past us?) Was not he last a few moments ago?)
That was the question that everyone did to them in the same mind, be it the challengers or the outside observers.
Those who had a powerful background began to get serious about Liu Yang, his superiors warned about Liu Yang before they entered, but greed could not be hidden, because the moment they heard that Liu Yang received items from fifty influential groups, this wealth made the eyes of all the partic.i.p.ants be envious and jealous.
(And if he is from some mysterious faction? Everything inside can happen, if he dies, it is because he did not have enough ability). That was the thinking of all the partic.i.p.ants before entering the challenge.
The distance between Liu Yang and the second place was fifty platforms, Liu Yang knew he could no longer avoid the other compet.i.tors, but due to his nature, he did not like to kill other people, although he told Xillia Wolf that he would try to change, to do that was difficult, that situation left him in conflict. Unlike Liu Yang"s conflict, Xillia Wolf was happy with the situation, as the only way to lose this "fear" of killing was to be put in life-and-death combat situations with other people, but Xillia Wolf was also worried that Liu Yang could not cross that barrier and hesitate at the final moment and end up being killed.
Liu Yang realized that Xillia Wolf did not speak a single word since he entered the challenge, he did not know if it was because she was not wanted or could not, but if she is watching the current situation, Liu Yang could understand some thoughts of it, about it not run from these conflicts.
As the situation could not be avoided, Liu Yang started doing things slowly again, throwing one dice at a time, because of this, the other partic.i.p.ants began to reach Liu Yang. The first ten managed to see the image of Liu Yang on some platforms forward, they began to create their own plans mentally. At that moment, Liu Yang was standing waiting for the other challengers, throwing a die, dropped the number 1. Advancing one platform only, the other ten who watched this scene understood what that meant.
(It seems like this person is more arrogant than I thought, he"s expecting us?). It was what they thought as they looked at the scene in front of them.
Each of the ten took six dice and played at the same time, to their surprise, the ten managed to fall on the same platform as Liu Yang. Liu Yang was already waiting for them, by the time they arrived on the platform, Liu Yang managed to get a better view of these ten challengers.
